Why do I get the spinning ball when I try to delete some photos?
I then have to Force quit everytime.
What should I do?

Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

Why am I getting this error message when I try to open a photo in Preview?

I am getting the following message when I try to open a photo in Preview. I have searched for possible solutions and nothing works for me. I have always used Preview to edit photos.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Why do I get error 150:30 when I try and send a photo to Elements 8?

Why do I get error 150:30 when I try and send a photo to Elements 8 from a PC with windows8?

My wife had this problem for the past few days for a specific phone number. These instructions fixed it -- without having to restore from backup or contact the carrier.

Open Contacts -> select the contact -> select edit -> scroll all the way to the bottom and delete contact (delete multiple entries of the same phone number, my wife had five).
Open the Messages app -> select Edit -> select the red circle and then select delete. Do this for both the person and the messages you received.
Open the Settings app -> scroll down and select Messages -> turn off messages, by selecting the switch, and any other options turned on.
Turn off your phone and then turn it back on.
Go straight to messages and compose a new message and put in the phone number of the person you're trying to text. Send and that person should receive the text message. Add the person to your contacts and go back into message settings to turn on any other options you want on that you turned off.

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

Why do I get the spinning ball on certain websites?

I wondering if anyone else has this problem. I get the spinning wheel, especially when I'm on certain websites. It can last for up to 10 minutes or much longer, but that's about as long as I can take. I usually have to use the "esc" button or power off to resolve the problem. Does this mean my computer is just getting old? I've had it for about four years. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Why do I get the spinning ball forever on travel websites?

I use cable internet and had a field tech come out to check the modem/router. He found nothing wrong. I'm wondering if the problem is with my Mac. It seems like with travel sites in particular such as Megabus, or vacation websites, I have to wait a few minutes for the pages to load. Any idea what could be causing this?

Why do I get the spinning wheel when I edit photos

I just purchased a MacBook pro 2.6 running 10.7.4 with 8 megs of ram, It came with iphoto 11 version 9.2.2. I shoot raw everything seems fine until I try and edit the photo's. Then I get the spinning wheel and all I can do is shut the computer down and restart it. It usually lets me edit one or two photos before it does it. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks for any help
Dom..

That test indicates that your current library is the culprit. In that case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

PSE 10 Error Message, when I try to delete some photos. Can delete others normally.

I recently have not been able to delete some photos. Didn't make a copy of the actual error message. Will record more info the next time I get the message. Have more than 60,000 photos in my database. any ideas, suggestions at this point ?

Use File...Catalog to open the Catalog Manager. Highlight your catalog in the lower section of the dialog and hit the "Repair" button. Repair the catalog anyway, even if it says there's nothing to repair. Then repeat, using the "Optimize" button.

Why do i get the alert window when i try to email photos from iphoto?

Each time i try to email photos from iphoto i get a window with an exclamation mark over the iphoto logo. I'm guessing that the email has not been sent but why?

Go to the photo that you're trying to email and double click on it. If the resulting window has the exclamation mark that means that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original file.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I'm getting an error message when I try to delete rejected photos!

When I use the filter for selecting the flagged 'rejected' photos and press Cmd+delete, and then "delete from disk," as I have done many many times in the past, It is suddenly telling me that my files cannot be moved to the Trash folder. I just updated today from Lightroom 1.3 to 1.4.1, but this was happening over this past week, before the update. I'm on a MacBook Pro, using Leopard 10.5.2. Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

I could delete a couple of images through finder, yes...and then they'd delete from Lightroom. The workaround I found is to create a subfolder containing the deleted images in Lightroom, and then delete that folder from the finder. It's not quite right, but it works for now. I wonder if the trouble has something to do with the location of the images? Not sure. I was able to delete some other images within Lightroom successfully, but I can't figure out yet what these have in common that are different! I'll keep working on it...

Why am I getting the 5002 error when I try to log in to my account

I've been having this problem since yesterday (dec/14) whenever I try to log in and obviously it won't let me log in to my account.
How do I solve it? help!!!

No you are not alone. I tried to create an apple ID and then access the app store and itunes and got the same error code. Spoke with tech support for over 45 minutes and we tried everything. Tech support seemed to think that it had something to do with credit card registration. Suggested that I use a different credit card. I modified my account settings with a different card and still had the same errors. At this time I have no confidence that Apple has any idea what the problem is.

Why do I get the spinning beach ball when I try to change from Events to Photos. How do I fix it?

Why do I get the spinning beach ball when I try to change from Events to Photos. How do I fix it?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Just get the spinning ball all the time in FCP

When I use Final Cut Pro (newest update) I get the spinning ball all the time when I do ordinary things like dobbleclicking a videoclip (DVCpro HD) or a sequence.
If I try to force quit FCP it seems like it quits, the report problem to Apple screen appears, but I have to force shutdown the whole computer, because even after I have force quit FCP, it still appears like it is running in the dock, and I am not able to start it again before I have restartet the computer.
I had this problem earlier, so yesterday I formated and reinstalled the whole system, but the problem continues. Its quite frustrating that I cant use Final Cut Pro on my new MacBook pro, 2,4GHZ, 4GB ram.
